Tony Yayo blames The Game & Young Buck for leaving G-Unit, “Game’s Bipolar”
Posted by Mikey Fresh under videos[60] Comments
Mikey: This is the smartest and most rational intervew I’ve ever heard Yayo give.
“50 did more for The Game than anyone out of the group.” – Tony Yayo

I really like Tony’s view on things!! Everyone now wants to be an efing boss and that cant happen. You need your men in between and just because your not the boss these little dudes think your not making money or something. This same shit that yayo said applies to Juelz and Jim.

Here he go exaggerating again. He gave game some hooks. The concepts of the songs…If game didn’t have any lyrical ability, they would not have been hits.

In this day, it takes way more than just lyrical ability to create a hit. In my opinion that may even count the least when creating a “hit.” So if all he is bringing to the table is lyrical ability then his input is probably valued at or around 25%.

OKay since you feel like that, were Game at now? dude can not exists with out beefing with some one, being artist for the most part comprises of originality, and Game really is Bi polar. he needs to focus his energy on making good music, He will never be in the same league as Jay Z point blank, he has lyrical ability but why he continues to do gimmick I don’t know

NO HOOKS NO HITS. When was the last time a hit hip-hop record had crazy lyrics. Crank Dat? Turn My Swag on? Chicken noodle soup?

That’s a DAMN FUCKING SHAME.>>>”NO HOOKS NO HITS”
Back in the day hits was made on Lyrical ability. Whether you wrote the lyrics or somebody else. Lyrics and hot tracks. Not jingles made up in hooks! I can’t stand hip hop nowadays! Since one certain individual said a rap song aint a song if it aint got a hook, mostly EVERYBODY CHANGED. You see very few hip hop artists ‘keep it real.’ So cats should not rhyme at all, just make a beat and put a hook on it!

Not just hooks, 50 picked the beats. All Game did was his lyrics. They were songs he gave Game, not hooks.

What he should have pointed out was the other option of going against 50 around that time period: You could end up like Buck and get lots of publicity for and then end up having your career VANISH into thin air.

50 already made his history. It’s over for him…and I am a 50 fan. When he proclaimed, “It don’t even matter, thank you Vitamin Water” at the BET awards, he meant it. It doesn’t matter to him anymore.
50 is simply after the public humiliation of other people at this point. That’s his lane, and he’s incredible in that lane. 50 was a PROBLEM before he got rich. However, as all fat cats get, he got lazy.
50 Cent Ja Rule’d himself. If 50 stayed motivated, he would have eclipsed Jay-Z. But he didn’t, so he didn’t.
Now say that I’m lying…

I would say 50 is continuing to make his by growing his brand and growing his platform. Between films and thisi50.com the dude has no lane he simply controls the highway now that you travel on. The fact that you used the term Jaruled even shows he controls your diction and vernacular. “Your already dead you just don’t know it yet”

He just aint parlay and forge the deal that was manifested by 50, so 50’s on the top of the totem pole. Yayo makin sense, he sounds mature. He sounds real…categorize game with young buck, juelz and jimmy.

Simply the truth and they had probably the dopest lineup

On the unit..they would’ve had the game locked right now..
Game still could’ve shined as well as buck..50 would’ve retired
And…..ah well wishful thinkin..

I can’t believe Yayo’s bum ass. I also can’t believe MissInfo thinks Yayo’s argument is rational. If 50 is the reason Game’s songs are hot (he’s not), and if Yayo is so close to 50(who cares), then why didn’t Yayo get all of Game’s tracks? If all it takes is a push from 50 to hit the top, then why is he at the bottom still? Why did Banks’ last album flop (almost 4 years ago)? 50 was on all of Yayo’s debut tracks and he never blew up. That Free Yayo shirt was the hottest thing that ever happened in his whole career. Hes been on the decline from before his first album dropped. Game said when he left G-Unit that Buck was next to go, and then it would be Banks. Was he so wrong? Let me explain something to these East Coast haters, Game represents LA. Thats why he blew up and thats why hes still here. He’s gunna always be relevant cus we love his music. How are you gunna say shit like “nobody listens to Game, where is he now?” Just look at the view count on any of his shit online. It don’t matter if its a new single, a mixtape hit, or an interview, everyone checks in when Game is about to drop something, everybody knows he doesn’t back down from anyone, and anybody who likes west coast music likes Game’s product. Even Miss Info who always hates on Game posts news about him (no love for the west coast but we understand) cus the people wanna know what we’re doin out here. Get outta here with all that, the West Coast been holdin it down so recognize.

Not sure what your talkin about. what i dont understand about you west coasters and dont get me wrong but you guys keep bringing up east coast has problems with the west. i live on the east and to be honest i haven’t heard anybody hating on you like that and if you dont live on the east then how can you say that. then my next point is you say that the west is holding it down, ok the only rappers i heard recently off the west are game(which was when lax was out), snoop(out in texas and thats when sexual eruption was out)this new guy nipsey,dude from outlaws and g.malone.so recognize what? west coast will always be part of hip hop just like the east, south and the midwest so relax yourself. and you mentioned miss info, remember that miss info is from chicago, while living and working in NY so most of her stuff is going to be revolve around her resources. so recognize that!

You don’t have to look any farther than this blog to see what I’m talkin bout. Like the rest of the 50 and Jigga fans out there, Info is always disrespecting Game. I’m not mad at that tho everybody got opinions. The only thing I’m not with is how the G-Unit and Jigga faithful say shit like “where is Game now?” when Game’s Pain and My Life were in heavy rotation on Hot 97 all last summer. The more pertinent question to ask is, “Where is G-Unit?” The answer being “nowhere” ever since Game left and accurately predicted that Buck and Banks were on their way out too. Shout out to Young Buck we got love for you in LA.
Shout out to Chi-City! Wouldn’t get faaaar… Common and Kanye always show love to Game and LA in general. I love “Angel” off L.A.X. Kanye did it real big at Powerhouse last summer on stage with Game too, they shut it down.

I GOTTA SAY THIS IS THE MOST SENSIBLE THREAD RESPONSES I’VE READ IN A WHILE ON ANY WEBSITE. MAYBE BECAUSE I AGREE WITH MOST THE REPLYS, I RESPECT THAT EVERY1 HAS AN OPINION & ISNT CONSIDERED A HATER FOR STATING THAT.
WITH THAT SAID IN LIFE WE HAVE CHOICES, @ THE TIME OF GAMES DECISION TO LEAVE I’M SURE PEOPLE WERE IN HIS EAR HYPING IT, BUT WHO EVER GOT BIGGER THAN THE BOSS BY GOING AGAINST HIM??
CAM DID IT TO JAY WHEN HE WAS ON THE ROC,
GAME & 50, JIM WENT AGAIST CAM.
@ THE END OF THE DAY UR LOYALTY GETS QUESTIONED, UR FANS & HOMIES MIGHT SUPPLY THE GAS / JET FUEL BUT BEING LOYAL GOES A LONG WAY & WITH ANY RELATIONSHIP BUSINESS OR PERSONAL THERE ARE RULES. 50, BANKS & BUCK ARENT AS HOT AS THEY WERE IN 2002-2005 BUT IN MY OPINION THEY ARE THE MOST LOYAL CREW I’VE EVER SEEN.

I agree with you. Good comment wall, I rarely agree with Tony Yayo but he makes some sense. Game humiliated himself by apologizing. Now he can never get bi polar and diss again without looking like a fool.
As far as the loytalty thing thats very true and u cant outshine ur boss.
But of course I have to disagree with u somewhat on the Cam -vs- Jayz thing…
Jayz did not sign Camron, nor did he ever agree with him being on the lable or ever back him up. So they were lable mates, but never cool. Cam’ron didnt owe Jay nothing. Jayz didnt even want him there nor did he support him. So Cam having loaytly to him is like blaaahhh… Cams loyalty should be to Dame. Thats it, if had issues with Jayz thats just what it is. Just like when Yayo had issues with Buck for disagreeing with the fact he slapped a kid. Yayo didnt put buck on. 50cent did…He has some loaytly to his crew, but it is what it is.
(If that makes any sense…Im not reallysure if thats what u meant bu your comment.)lol

Thats what I meant, I guess Ur right tho with Cams loyalty lying with Dame. My thing is Jay, Dame & Biggs were the owners & Jay was the face of the label no Jay no Roc. Cam wanted to be a boss & i guess he saw Jay as competition too. We see what happen to the Roc following that whole scenario.

Tony, shut the fuck up. Please dog. You is an annoying fuck. If artists benefit attention from shitting on 50, then you benefit attention for speaking for 50 when beefin wit G-Unit. “The Game” was the better talent in that group. 50 look like he aint wanna be outshined by The Game. Yayo is the weakest link in G-Unit. Talking bout 50 wrote 7 “hits”. What does Tony consider “hits” to be? I know Game and 50 made 2 hits together. I dont remember 7 and I know for sure 50 aint write Games verses on no song. Maybe the hooks and that’s what 50 did with all the artists from “G-Unit”. That’s the reason “Blood Money” was such a terrible album. 50 wanna be all up in the songs fuckin up that Mobb Deep sound was so great until they signed with 50. This argument is pointless, because “The Game” went on and put out 2 other great albums, without the assistance of 50 or Dre. Better than anything Banks and Yayo will ever make. So shut the fuck up. I fucks wit Game

50 I love him but I do have to admit he seems to have quite a few sides to him. This is just my opinion take it how you feel but It seems to me that when someone is getting a little more shine than him in his click he tends to dim they lights…feel me? In other words he is more like the Suge Knight of the East Coast but he is worst… I mean I have seen him put such a choke hold on the industry that people is like damn what happen to jah-rule, fat joe aint spitting lately, killa cam disappeared for a hot minute behind the beef, The Game is schizophrenic, and my baby buck he aint getting buck no more…yall got to excuse me I love me some buck…I feel he cant do anything wrong but like I said that was my opinion. Anywho as I was saying, 50 is like really strong arming the game and when the hell is the last time Mobb Deep really drop some shiz!!! Since they been with the unit all I heard was that one album and a few tracks with 50 and that was that. Oh and where the hell is Olivia? I am not trying to hate on 50 I loved him when the second album came out not the one with him robbing industry niccas but the “underground shi* before get rich or die trying came out. I love most of his underground…He is too mainstream now. Not that it’s anything wrong with it. As for Banks…Its like he is no longer in the unit…havent heard a peep out of him. Maybe he is scared that hes next. Yayo well he is definitely one of 50’s soldiers but it’s time for him to use his own voice and opinions.

LOYALTY… or should I say play your position.
if you boy makes it big doing something/anything, and he put you on. if he’s hired you to work or something along those lines, whether you like it or not he is your boss. he may not treat like he is but he is your boss, until you position yourself to be your own boss at that moment in time he is your boss. 2 things to note here, 1, he may not put you own that way you really have a reason to shit on him. 2, he can put you on and when you position yourself to be your own boss say your thank you’s and either bounce or keep breaking bred with dude. whether you like it or not 50 is the Boss of G Unit, he worked for that.
When a person holds his company together you hate on him, but when he crumbles you laugh.
Just because you tried to position yourself to be your boss and it failed doesn’t mean you have to shit on the person that put you on.
ps. every one is entitled to an opinion, if you feel shitty about 50 for your own personal reason then thats fine i hear that but if you ask yourself this question, ” why do I hate this guy (50) when I’ve never even met dude or know him like that”, b honest with yourself.

I aplogize but I had to comment twice. What’s with all these Game d!*k riders? The Lame is FRAUDULENT!
Pros:
He can rhyme. AND he’s the only NEW GENERATION mainstream West Coast artist that has lyrical ability. He DESTROYED G-Unit(if you don’t think he did then check the G-Unit album/clothing sales since then) but NOT necessarily 50.
Cons:
He’s a fake Blood that looked like a clown on National TV(Change of Heart), he was a stripper in his mothers strip club, he turned his back on his own brother, he cried on a track BEGGING Dr. Dre to “take him back”(that’s not homo at all… lol), tattooed a butterfly on his cheek stating that it “symbolizes growth”, then covers it up with ‘LA’ and a ‘Converse Star’ when people start making fun of him. Frankly the ONLY hit he’s really had after being dropped by Dre and 50 was “One Blood” and the remix(sorry that Lil Wayne song was a FLOP).
I personally can’t support an artist with this pattern of fraudulence. Be real! This dude would have NEVER survided in the 90’s with these kind of credentials.

July 19th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
Im confused about one thing…
Why are people on here saying game left gunit? 50cent kicked him out because he refused to disrespect Nas and Jadakiss and other rappers 50cent had beef with. Game thought it was a bad idea and didnt want to be a part of that. And for that 50cent called him disloyal and kicked him out… Correct? Or did I miss something?
(Which Game was actually correct about that… All the beefing was good for 50cents legacy, but it hurt the other members ultimately and the label some if it wanted to expand and build it really cant now…can it?)
Game did have potential as a solo artist when he left gunit and he DID have hits AFTER he left Dre and 50cent…Not as big, but he did have success. However…like Jim and Juelz he started trippin making bad moves and I think hurt what he could have become solo. He just played his cards wrong. Tony Yayo is just not dumb enough to bite the hand that feeds him. And you cant hate him for that. He playin his cards right. But 50cent hurt THEIR career. He did…He has enough money and success. I believe yayo, banks and the rest could have had more individual success had 50cent allowed them to before he let things go sour with well…the whole industry.lol

Fair enough, but 50 does more for his artists then say a Diddy/ Jay/ JD would do. Its more like a family over there then a label, 50 would never drop Banks or Yayo if there album didn’t sell..G-Unit is run differently to the average label thus 50 is able to behave differently to then the average label boss.

yayo is 100% right, 50 is the only rapper that have a group that not only him was successful but his group also. game 5x platinum, banks 3x platinum, buck 2x platinum, yayo platinum. who else had a crew that did that luda and dtp NO, jayz and rock boys NO, TI and grand hustle NO,Cam and dipset NO, nelly and st lunatics NO. nobody there is quote you measure success by how many people you bless and 50 is at the top of that food chain, he bought olivia a house and she didnt even make money for his brand. game and buck fell for the #1 thing that breaks up a group someone getting in your ear and saying f the boss your the best.at the end of the day 50 isnt obligated to nobody except for yayo and banks because he grew up with them, the rest didnt play their position and realize its a job. the game we all know fifty wrote the songs he siad he did, go back and listen to the rhymes and hooks from the documentary, church for thugs, hate it or love it, higher, westside story, special,they all sound like 50 cent signature sound.buck he’s a clown your around a boss everyday thats making million dollar deals everyday and you made 20 mil and end up broke, hes just a joke. yayo knows his position and thats why hes in 50 will just like bleek is in jay’s.
